[Pyros go off inside of the Charlotte Coliseum. The cameras now swing over to the ringside announcer's table where Mike Tenay and Mark Madden are at.]

Mike Tenay: Hello everyone. It's Monday Night and that can only mean on thing!

Mark Madden: That the buffet line backstage is free?

Mike Tenay: You wish. It really means that it is time for NWO's Monday Night Carange. And we have a great card set up for tonight.

Mark Madden: The NWO World Champion is going to be in action tonight.

Mike Tenay:  He takes on The Hardy Boyz in a handicap match. And the wildcard in this match is the special guest referee, Triple H.

Mark Madden: But what EVERYONE has been talking about is just what is Eric Bishoff's plan that will "shock" the World?

Mike Tenay: I don't know, but he has been saying for the past week or so that this master plan of his will start right here tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina!

Mark Madden: I can't wait until he does that.

Mike Tenay: But we are going to have to wait for that. We have to get to the ring for our first match. It's between one half of the NWO Tag Team Champions, The Undertaker, and the returning Gene Simmons.

Gene Simmons vs The Undertaker


Lillian Garica: This match is set for one fall.

[The lights go out adn then a loud "BONG" is heard. The Undertaker's orgin music plays. He slowly walks down to his right.]

Lillan Garica: Introducing first, from Death Valley, weighing in at 326 pounds, he is one half of the Net World Order Tag Team Champions, The Undertaker!!

Mike Tenay: Right now The Undertaker has the title that Gene Simmons, at that point known as Michael Graves, had. That is one half of the NWO Tag Team Championship that he held with Sting until The Holly Cousins got the titles from them.

["When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000 plays. Gene Simmons makes his way down to the ring. He gets a fairly warm responce from the fans.]

Lillan Garica: And his opponent. Weighing in at 275 pounds, Gene Simmons!!

Mark Madden: As Gene Simmons comes down to the ring, it makes me wonder.

Mike Tenay: About what?

Mark Madden: Well, Gene and Eric Bishoff are prety good friends right. After all, Mr. Bishoff was his manager before.

Mike Tenay: Yeah, so what's your point.

Mark Madden: I wonder if Gene knows anything about the master plan that is going to be reveled tonight.

Mike Tenay: I don't know about that. Based on that scene with those two the other day, it doesn't seem like that are that close of friends anymore.

[Referee Nick Patrick calls for the bell and the bell sounds. Gene Simmons and The Undertaker have their eyes locked onto eachother from opposite sides of the ring. After a little while, they begin to walk towards eachother. The Undertaker  attacks fist with a big right hand that connects just left of Simmons' left eye. Simmons almost goes down to one knee, but manages to stay up. He looks down fora moment then he looks up at The Undertaker. He BLOWS FIRE out of his mouth, but The Undertaker ducks, avoiding the fire.]

Mike Tenay: Gene Simmons was wasteing no time whatsoever. He want for that Fire Mist that he used a lot before. But The Undertaker must have done his homework and Gene and saw that one coming.

[The Undertaker grabs Gene Simmons by the neck with both of his arms and throws him to the nearest ring corner. The Undertaker now pummels Simmons with lefts and rights to his midsection.]

Mark Madden: The Undertaker is now going all out on Gene Simmons.

Mike Tenay: I guess The Undertaker didn't exactly appreciate that fire mist from Gene Simmons.

[The Undertaker now irish whips Simmons to the corner on the other side. The Undertaker now charges toward Gene, but Gene ducks and The Undertaker hits hard into the turnbuckle pads. Simmons now takes The Undertaker by his neck and delivers a neckbreaker.]

Mike Tenay: Gene Simmons aviods that charge by The Undertaker and then delivers a text book neck break to "The Dead Man."

[Gene goes for the cover. Referee Nick Patrick gets into position and begins the counts 1.....2. The Undertaker powers out.]

Mike Tenay: The "Man From The Darkside" not only kicked out, but he kicked out with a lot of power.

Mark Madden: That just shows that it will take a lot more from Gene Simmons to beat The Undertaker.

[The Undertaker sits up and quickly gets to his feet. Simmons is also up to his feet. The Undertaker grabs Simmons and sends him into the ropes. The Undertaker lifts up his boot in order to kick Simmons in his face, but Gene ducks the attack. As The Undertaker turns around to face Simmons, Gene hooks him and gives him a Swinging DDT. Gene now rolls ontop of The Undertaker. Nick Patrick counts 1.....2.....3]

Lillan Garica: The winner of this match, Gene Simmons!!!

Mike Tenay: In his first match back in the NWO, Gene Simmons have beat The Undertaker.

Mark Madden: Gene got a bit lucky at the end of the match. If The Undertaker's boot connected, I bet it would have been all over from him.

Mike Tenay: But he did aviod it, hit a nice DDT, and picked up the win in the opening match of Monday Night Carange. Now right now we have to go to break. When we come back, it will be Chris Jericho talking on"Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a hardcore rules match.

Commercial Break


Mike Tenay: We are back and it is time to get right back into the ring with our second match of this evening.

Chris Jericho vs Steve Austin
Hardcore Rules

Lillian Garica: The following HARDCORE RULES matchup is set for one fall.

[The Y2J countdown begins. The lights go out and their is an loud exposition and "Break The Walls Down" begins to play. When the lights come back on, there is no Chris Jericho standing there like he normally would be.]

Mark Madden: What's going on? Where's Chris Jericho?

Mike Tenay: Don't ask me because I don't know.

Mark Madden: That has to be the first time ever I have heard you say that you don't know something.

[After a few moments, Jericho's theme stops play and "Rollin'(Urban Assult Vehicle" plays and out walks NWO CEO Steve Davis.]

Mike Tenay: And here comes CEO Davis down to the ring.

Mark Madden: And he does not appear to be in a good mood right now.

[He makes his way into the ring. Lillian hands him the mic she was using, and then she leaves the ring.]

CEO Davis: You know, I am really, really pissed off right now. All I expect the wrestlers of the NWO to do is to trash talk out side of the ring and get the job done inside of the ring. Now three of the people in the next two matches haven't even bothered to do anything out side of the ring. Those three would be Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, and Ruthless. Firstly, Steve Austin. You are a former World Champion. You asked me to let you back, so I do. Then you fail to get your job done not only tonight but also on Thursday. So you are out of the NWO. Secondly, Chris Jericho. Chris, I happen to like you. You are a great talent without a shadow of a doubt. I know how good you are, but the fans don't get the chance to know how good you are if you aren't even going to try. I won't say anything in the public, but me and you need to talk privately. And on to Ruthless. Ruthless, you should be the most ashamed out of the three. You are a double champion in the NWO. Wait, I take that back, you WERE a double champion in the NWO. The Intercontinental and Hardcore titles are now VACANT. And you're lucky my good ol' buddy Bob Holly isn't around. He'd kick your ass if he knew you disrespected the Hardcore and Intercontinental titles, two titles that he had before. Hell, Crash would do the same just for you disrespecting the Hardcore Title he has one a few dozen or whatever so times. Now I am not going to stay out here later. Fans, enjoy the main event, it will be next.

Commercial Break

Mike Tenay: Well Madden here we are, the main event. We still haven't herd from Eric Bischoff about his so called suprise. Eric was supposed to show up last Thursday on Overdrive to drop the bomb on us, but he didn't show for his own reasons. You think he's going to do the same thing tonight?

Mark Madden: Are you crazy? If the boss said he was going to be here then he's going to be here.

Mike Tenay: Well regardless we have one hell of a main event tonight. NWO World Champion Shane Douglas will face not one, but two men in the carnation of the Hardy Boyz. Lets get to ring side with Lillian Garica.

Mark Madden: My god she is a hot one!

Lillian Garica: The following match is set for one fall. Coming to the ring at this time, weighing in at 270 pounds. The Net World Orders one and only "Franchise" Shane Douglas!

"Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple rumbles over the NWO sound system as Shane Douglas and his new valet Olga Appear at the entrance to the ring. The fans begin to boo and throw trash as Shane Douglas makes his way to the ring. You see a sign that reads "Bischoff is going to bring back Hogan!". Shane Douglas climbs into the ring and walks over to Lillian Garica saying a few choice words as he walks to his corner laughing. Olga stands outside of the ring looking as big and bad as ever.

Mike Tenay: Shane Douglas looks to be in great shape. I might not agree with some of the things he does, but right now there is not a more deserving champion.

Mark Madden: Will you quit sucking up before the Franchise has to come down here and kick your ass himself.

Lillian Garica: And his opponent, weighing is a combined weight of 412 pounds. Jeff and Matt Hardy!

The Hardy Boyz music begins to play as the fans bust into an array of cheers. The Hardys make their way to the ring while women grab at their clothes trying to shove their tongues down a Hardys throat. Jeff and Matt climb into the ring and stand in the corner furthest away from "The Franchise".

Mike Tenay: So Madden who's your pick to win?

Mark Madden: You know you ask some of the stupidest questions! Of course I pick the Franchise Shane Douglas to kick these Hardys right back under the rock they crawled out of!

Matt Hardy decides to start things off as Jeff Hardy climbs behind the ropes. Shane Douglas charges at Matt with a forearm smash, but Matt Hardy ducks the attack and Douglas runs into the turnbuckle. Douglas turns around looking alittle out of it as Matt Hardy connects with a high drop kick that sends Douglas to the ground. :Matt tags in Jeff Hardy and Jeff picks up Douglas and whips him into the ropes. Douglas reverses it and sends Jeff into the ropes then connects with a closeline. Douglas pins Jeff Hardy down with his knees and begins punching him. The ref warns Douglas and Douglas climbs off of Jeff Hardy. Douglas picks Jeff up by the hair and sends him flying over the top rope as Matt Hardy runs in from behind with a surprise back suplex. Douglas blocks the suplex with his weight advantage and mule kicks Matt Hardy with a low blow. Matt Hardy falls to the ground in pain as Olga begins stomping on Jeff Hardy. Shane Douglas picks Matt up and executes a pile driver. Olga throws Jeff Hardy back into the ring and Shane Douglas whips him into the turnbuckle. Shane climbs the turnbuckles that Matt Hardy is leaned up against and begins to punch. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9....10! Douglas climbs down and watches Matt Hardy fall to the ground. Douglas climbs back onto the turnbuckle and begins to shout at the fans. Douglas climbs down and gets handed a microphone from Olga.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: This is what the NWO booking team has put me up against!? Who in there right mind would send these two kids to there slaughter by pitting them against "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!? These two Fairy’s...er I mean brothers need to pack there bags and get the F**k out of my ring!

The fans begin to boo and throw things and Matt Hardy starts to move while Jeff Hardy lays out cold.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: What!? What’s wrong with you people? I'm the f**king Franchise, The LAST Net World Order World Champion! You should be bowing down in my presence!

Matt Hardy climbs to his feet looking a little dazed but still ready to fight. The fans begin to cheer like crazy when they notice one of the Hardys back on his feet.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: It's about damn time you should me a little respect around here!

Mark Madden: Shane look behind you!!!

Matt Hardy runs towards Shane Douglas who is still standing on the second turnbuckle looking out to the fans. Matt dropkicks Douglas in the lower back sending him over the ring post and to the outside. Douglas gets to his feet only to have Matt Hardy jump outside the ring with a 450 Splash kicking Shane Douglas to the ground. The fans start chanting "Hardy...Hardy..Hardy!" As Jeff climbs back to his feet. Matt Hardy gets up holding his arm where he took a hard bump. Douglas lays out cold on the arena floor and Jeff Hardy is now on his feet and leaning in the corner of the ring catching his breath. Just then Eric Bischoffs music hits the speakers and The Baltimore Assassin and Chris Jericho comes running down to the ring. Baltimore Assassin slides into the ring With Jeff Hardy and Jericho begins punching on Matt Hardy on the outside. TBA hits Jeff Hardy with a pair of brass knuckles busting his head open. On the outside Matt Hardy is now in the Lion Tamer and has passed out from the pain. Bischoffs music continues to play over the Pa system as TBA rolls Jeff Hardy out of the ring and Jericho lets go of the Lion Tamer and helps Douglas to the ring.

The Match is thrown out for interference. No contest!


Mike Tenay: We should have known that AKI would have had a hand in this match, but why is Eric Bischoffs music playing!?

Mark Madden: Maybe Bischoff is pro AKI?

TBA hands Douglas his belt and Douglas throws it over his shoulder. Douglas who looks exhausted picks up the microphone that he dropped when he was kicked outside.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: Listen up you pukes, lets hear it for a REAL boss, Eric Bischoff!

Eric Bischoff appears at the entrance way all smiles as the crowd boos. Bischoff makes his way to the ring where Douglas, Jericho, and The Baltimore Assassin stand. The Hardy Boyz are now being helped out of the arena by security as Bischoff climbs into the ring and takes the microphone from Douglas.

Mark Madden: Eric Bischoff is with AKI!!!

Mike Tenay: But he's a Co owner of the NWO, why would he side with Ass Kickers Inc?

Eric Bischoff: I bet your all wondering why I am standing in the ring with AKI and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. Well as most of you know I was in the NWO about 3 months ago managing Gene Simmons, or Micheal Graves as he wanted to be called at the time. And during my stay here in the NWO I notice that with every passing day this federation seemed to get worse and worse. By the end of my run Gene Simmons was injured, your heroes Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Sting, Triple H, Steve Austin, and Jeff Jarrett would all leave this company to try and survive without them. With most of our so called big names gone from the NWO we began to lose viewers. Our fan base dropped by almost half and is still down from the NWOs glory days. So when I decided to buy into this company with my very own money that I have worked so many years to acquire. I knew I would need to change some things around here. Everyone in the back and all you fans will have to face facts that the Net World Order is dead! It's been dead for a long time. I have decided that there is no way to save this place from it's own egos and self-destruction. Not even the great Shane Douglas could save the NWO. And when a man like him can't do something you know it's a total loss.. That is why starting tonight THE NWO IS DEAD! I will bring this company back to number one by firing the bad seeds and renaming it the Universal Wrestling Federation . There will be no egos like Hulk Hogan ruining our chance to rebuild on a solid foundation. The time for action is NOW. If I am going to save this place I must first forget it's long harsh history. And to do that I need your help Franchise.

Mike Tenay: What’s he talking about? Is this a corporate takeover!?

Mark Madden: You know if there was one man I wanted to run this company it would have to be Eric Bischoff!

Eric Bischoff hands the microphone to Shane Douglas.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: Listen up, the boss is right! I have worked my ass off in this lousy company for way too long and now as I stand here today is falling apart! The only people we have to blame are Jackasses like CEO Reese, CEO Wilson, CEO Hall and the newest in the never ending line CEO Davis. These lame excuses for bosses have ran the NWO so far into the ground you can't dig it out with a shovel the size of Triple H's nose!

TBA climbs out of the ring and throws a trashcan into the center of the ring. Chris Jericho sets it up in front of Douglas.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: So now there is only one way to put an end to the bullshit that the Net World Order has become. And that is to throw there G**damn belt in the trash!

Douglas throws the NWO World Title in the trash. as TBA who is still out side of the ring now comes into the ring with a can of Gas.

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: But you know the Franchise. Simply throwing this damn belt away isn't going to cut it. I've got to burn the piece of shit!

The fans are booing there heads off hopping someone will come out and save there favorite federation as TBA pours the can of gas into the trash can that the world title was thrown into. Shane Douglas pulls a zippo lighter out of his trunks but does not strike it.

Mike Tenay: No! they can't burn our title!

Mark Madden: Shut up Tenay, this is the new era of this company!

"The Franchise" Shane Douglas: Ladies and gentlemen, I said I would be the last NWO World Heavyweight Champion, and tonight I am ready to make good on that promise! You see, I thought long and hard about this the other night! I have done everything to enhance my position here in the NWO! And what has this place done for me! NOT A DAMN THING! I have busted my ass to be the epitome, the one this place revolves around! Instead, everyone here wants to give the ball to someone else! I keep telling you this place is all about ME! But, you want me to share the spotlight! SCREW THAT!

Folks, I'm forming my own federation tonight, one that is truly deserving of the "Franchise!" The Universal Wrestling Federation is born tonight, and I am its first World champion! Since I am the center of your wrestling universe, it's only fitting that I have such a federation to honor me! As for the NWO, you can all just bend over and kiss my ass! I don't need to be in this place with the rest of you, that's why tonight I make this solemn vow! Since the NWO won't accept me, I will destroy it! Since no one wants to give me what I deserve, I'll tear this place apart! One by one, we'll destroy your heroes, tear the joint down brick-by-brick! Finally, when there's nothing left of this hellhole, the UWF will be the future of wrestling! And there will be one champion, his name is "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!

Gentlemen, if you will one more time, prepare for the fire!

Suddenly Douglas is interrupted by "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000. The lights go down as Douglas looks on rather pissed. Gene Simmons appears at the top of the ramp pulling a major pop from the crowd.

Mike Tenay: Finally some order is going to be restored! Here comes Gene Simmons to the ring. Douglas doesn’t look too happy about this!

Mark Madden: No, what’s that white faced freak doing out here! Gene Simmons needs to take his ass back to his locker room before AKI runs his ass into the ground!

Gene Simmons continues his way to the ring as Douglas kicks the ropes and screams a few choice words. Gene Simmons climbs into the ring as AKI begins to surround the ring waiting for an attack. Gene Simmons walks over to Bischoff and gives him a dirty look then walks over to Douglas and takes the microphone away from him.

Gene Simmons: Douglas I can not allow you to do this! I mean it's the fucking World title of the Net World Order! And nobody would want to burn this piece of shit more than me!

Gene Simmons takes the lighter and throws it in the garbage can setting the belt on fire. Douglas begins jumping around laughing because he had this set up from the get go.

Mike Tenay: This is bullshit Madden! Gene Simmons was in on it all along!

Mark Madden: No he wasn't JR. Gene just decided to take the right path!

The lights begin to flicker on and off. AKI and Gene Simmons begin to look around wondering what the hell is going on.

Mike Tenay: What’s going on now!?

Mark Madden: This is why Eric Bischoff wants to kill off the NWO! At least the UWF could afford to pay their power bills!

Suddenly the lights go out and you can not see what’s going on. A few seconds pass as a blue light flickers just enough to see someone hit Gene Simmons with a baseball bat. After about 20 or 30 seconds the lights come back up and Gene Simmons is laved out cold covered in his own blood. Douglas walks over the Gene Simmons with a shocked look over his face as he picks up a black baseball bat with a silver scorpion on it. The camera gets a close shot on the scorpion logo on the baseball bat as the copyright notice comes over the screen

Mike Tenay: Oh my God! Is that who I think it is!

Mark Madden: No! It can't be him! He quit the NWO!!!

The scene fades black
